The production is likely an abridged version of <i> Roméo et Juliette </i>, an 1867 opera in five acts by Charles Gounod to a French libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré, based on <i> Romeo and Juliet </i> by William Shakespeare. A datebill or printed label contains information about a performance at Park Theatre: “Two Nights / Tuesday and Wednesday, March 1 and 2/ Grand Matinee Wednesday P. M.”
